About

The Luddite Lab Resource Hub provides resources for unions, labor organizations, and organizers fighting AI and automation at work. We provide strategies for worker-led governance and oversight of new technology through case studies, primers, and a resource library.

This Resource Hub is the result of dozens of conversations with unionists from multiple different industries, such as journalism, entertainment, and nursing, who have been fighting–and winning–against industrial automation and workplace surveillance at work; literature reviews of existing struggles; and our background in the labor movement. This is a publicly accessible resource which not only discusses the harms of particular technologies, but also highlights a range of organizing strategies which workers have used to push back.
